Read excerpts of the interview below:

On Discovering Her Strength

“The most surprising thing I’ve learned about myself on my journey is the depth of my strength and determination. I’ve discovered that I can push myself to my ultimate limits, often exceeding what I thought was possible.

I’ve also come to embrace multitasking at its highest level, seamlessly juggling various responsibilities and challenges while being a full-time present mum to two very energetic boys -This ability to adapt and thrive in demanding situations has not only showcased my resilience but also revealed a level of tenacity I didn’t fully recognize in myself before. It’s been an enlightening experience that has reshaped my understanding of my capabilities.”

On Staying Focused During Hard Times

“Honestly, I just stay focused and hopeful. I believe that positivity can be a powerful tool, and those who know me can attest to my optimistic outlook, even in challenging situations. I make a conscious effort to keep my faith high and remind myself that setbacks are often just stepping stones to success.

I’m naturally a bit of a risk-taker, which means I’m comfortable navigating uncertainty. This mindset helps me embrace challenges rather than shy away from them, allowing me to stay motivated and resilient no matter what I encounter.”

On Her Journey and Growth

“When I reflect on my journey from where I started to where I am now, I feel an immense sense of pride in my bravery and the risks I’ve taken along the way to get here.. Growing up in South London, I often dreamed of the life I now lead. Infact, I’ve probably suppressed my very own dreams and ambitions.

Being able to work in the capacity I do with my partner, who happens to be one of the most talented musicians while being able to raise a family is one of the biggest blessings. As I turned 40, I experienced extreme anxiety, prompting me to ask myself a pivotal question: If you could ask your younger self where you would be at 40, what would you say?

My answer would be a resounding affirmation that I am exactly where I envisioned myself. This realisation empowered me to embrace my journey fully, and since then, I’ve never looked back. I take pride in not only achieving my dreams but also in the courage it took to pursue them relentlessly.”
